The thing to do would be to make sure the person can breath (lay him/her over on his/her side) and just make sure the person doesn't injure him/herself by falling and biting him/herself is common in seizures, it hurts like hell though....
...and you should make sure people "watching" knows it's nothing serious and that it's normal and tell them about epilepsy :-)
I don't know if Stesolid works with tonic clonic seizures, however it should, so give him/her one if it lasts more than 3 minutes ;-)

Do you let a diabetic person having a seizure seize?
Generally if it is a grand mal seizure (now known as tonic-clonic) where the person has fallen and is in convulsions, you do let the person "seize." By that is meant letting the seizure run its course. Do not try to restrain the person. Make sure the person will not strike or knock anything over that is nearby and never try to place anything in the person's mouth.
